Windows driver 8 - switchable graphics problem

Hello

I installed Windows 8 RTM Enterprise (trial) on my laptop HP G62 B13SL . It has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 and an Intel's HD Graphics (Core i3, first generation).

I installed the driver ATI Catalyst 12.8 (with Win8 compatibility). During the installation of 'ATI video driver', the screen went black (no light).

So, I put the laptop to sleep and then I awake, and the screen worked again.

I also installed the official Intel HD graphics driver from the HP website (ver. ( 8.15.10.2189), because the Intel.com driver gives an error when I run the installation program.

Please help me!

Notes/Info:

  1. If I open the Catalyst Control Center , I get an error of the AMD driver.
  2. In 'Device Manager', there are two generic screens instead of one.
  3. There is no option to change the map.

Hello

For your switchable graphics work correctly, the ATI and Intel drivers must be installed using the package AMD - install the drivers individually will not work.  The simplest option is to wait for HP to publish an updated for Windows 8 AMD software package.

There is a work around you can use (also popular with people running Windows 7, who wanted to just past combinations switchable graphics driver for graphic models) - see link below.  If you want to try this, make sure to save all your data first just in case where.  This method is not supported by HP, so if you want to try it, it will be at your own risk.

Before trying this, I suggest strongly that read you the Manual to get an idea of how it works.

The main points to be aware of this method are:

* Driver signature enforcement will be disabled to allow unsigned drivers to load.

* You pouvez obtain a "Test Mode" watermark in the bottom right of your desktop.

If your happy with it (I have personally run Windows 8 with these drivers without problem), at least he can bridge the gap until HP version updated drivers.

Kind regards

  • 4730 proBook s switchable graphics problem

    Hello all and sorry for my English not very good, but I hope you understand

    I have a laptop HP ProBook 4730 s with graphics switchable. I can't the CCC to run, so im stuck on intel HD graphics. I had the same problems with CCC, but I always managed to solve (reinstall the drivers/windows etc.), but not now.

    I did the things so far:

    -Fully formatted: C partition on my HARD drive and installed new windows 7 on

    -Remove all drivers with driver Sweeper, AMD uninstaller, repaired and cleaned with CCleaner registry

    -Updated the newer BIOS

    -Beta drivers installed for ATI

    -Tried to disable the INTEL graphics card in Device Manager, disable switchable graphics in the BIOS

    Sometimes, the CCC doesn't even start (it's in the Manager of tasks under process), sometimes to give me error CCC, CLI or MOM. If I disable switchable graphics in the bios, I find myself in VGA (odd resolution) mode, if I disable ATI or INTEL in Device Manager, I also find myself with weird resolution...

    My computer specs are:

    Intel i5 (2.4 gHz) processor

    700 GB HARD drive

    4 GB of RAM

    Intel HD graphics and AMD Radeon HD 6490 M 1 GB

    Windows 7 enterprise (64-bit)

  • Windows Driver DV6T-3000 graphics 8

    Hey guys! its my first post.

    I need help with my computer hp laptop pavilion dv6t-3000/entertainment. I tried to install windows 8(64x), upgrade to windows 7(64x) and everything is going well, but after trying to update the graphics driver in Device Manager (there was an alert next to tell him he was out of date), the screen went black and I can not get windows 8 to display anything after the start menu.

    I checked this site: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=4221638&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us to help and downloaded the amd for graphics driver in windows 7(64x). I noticed that windows 8 was not on the list of operating systems and hp could support it not for my computer, but I've tried everything I can think of including: install drivers from hp for windows 7(64x), right click on the driver in Device Manager and click on update driver to recover the computer in the menu (f11) startup and reinstallation of windows 8 and try again and I tried all updates driver in safe mode (which does not work well). I updated my pc 3 times and reinstalled windows 8 and windows 7 one time twice.

    If hp does not support my computer for windows drivers 8, is there anything else I can try?

    Thank you.

    Windows 8 is not supported by HP on this model (so far), you're on your own to find drivers or methods toher to get the chart works properly, which may not be possible, at least until HP free W8 drivers for it at a later date.

    A quote from HP employee

    "Some drivers worked in preview but not in RTM."

    «Regarding the drivers Win7 in Win8, the major problem people have is switchable GPU.» Some systems just won't stand for Win8 switch. »

  • HP pavilion m6 1010ex switchable graphics problem

    Hi all!

    I had this problem for a while, I can't use my amd graphic card. When I install the driver and restart my computer the result is a Disconnections (atikmadag.sys). I tried many drivers of old news, but has not seemed to work. I even formatted my laptop and install a new copy of windows, however it always result in the same problem. Is my current windows 8.1 but the same used to get to 8 and 7. To prevent the Disconnections, I entered the mode without fail and then to Device Manager and disabled the amd graphics card. But I still want the amd graphics card to work.  Several times I tried unistalling the intell and amd then install intel everything first and then amd but it always leads to the same problem. I posted my problem several times but no one seemed to help. As experts online today I hope that this problem can be solved.

    Hello and thank you for your answer

    My bios is updated. Also is it a hardware failure can would you by any chance know if it is possible to buy a new graphics driver and replace it with the default one.

  • Switchable Graphics (AMD Radeon HD 7670) problem in Hp Pavilion g6 2305tx-windows 8.1

    Hello

    I would like to draw your kind attension to this serious problem, which I do face with AMD Mobility Radeon HD7670 driver for windows 8.1

    I use Hp pavilion 2305tx g6 that has double graphics. I bought it 6 months ago and it cost about 60 grand in Bangladesh.

    I was using Windows 7 and everything was fine. I could play every game I want, but after upgrade to 8.1 window, I am facing this switchable graphics problem. Device manager shows that driver was installed correctly but when I go to high performance for any game, it (game) is not responding but game can start without any problem in IE graphics Intel HD 4000 I cannot use my dedicated graphics card which I bought this laptop!

    Here too, no driver to blueooth. Specifically the driver Ralink RT 3290 Bluetooth. I found the driver for this hardware, but not suitable for windows 8.1. Okey BT is not a big problem, but what about the graphics driver? What is Hp? sleep? Where the drivers updated for Windows 8.1? How long I have to wait? As I brought it BDT 60 grand I have right to ask for updated driver and I want to that they as soon as POSSIBLE.

    Again, I chart AMD Radeon HD 7670 in my laptop and driver is correctly installed, but every time I spend my graphics to high performance I cann't play any game. It's because I'm not have good drivers for Windows 64-bit os 8.1.

    I've been looking for this driver for months, but I don't get a updated driver for AMD mobility radeon 7670.

    Please, I beg you! publish drivers for windows 8.1 updated 64-bit os.

    [edited by Moderator]

    The problem is resolved. It took 6 months but in the end I finally thought to her

    Follow the steps precisely

    1. open this Pc or workstation then go to uninstall or change a program

    2 appears in the list, you can see graphics driver Intel & AMD Catalyst install manager. You must uninstall both in express mode so that no other previous parameter no longer exists.

    3. Firstly, uninstall the Intel Graphics driver. If you are asked for a restart of the pc to go for it.

    4. that the list appears, you can see AMD Catalyst install manager, right click and uninstall in express mode. Uninstall all components of AMD. Restart your PC because you will be asked.

    5. go on this Pc or my PC and then drive C. open Program Files and Program Files (x 86) the two of them, if you use the 64-bit operating system. In the search box write AMD and you find some removal files remaining them all.

    6. now your PC is free of previous records and other files. Although the right, click on sign Windows and Device Manager. You'll see graphic cards and uninstall both. This step is not necessary, but just to be sure that your PC has not previously installed drivers.

    7. open your browser and download the latest graphics driver for your PC Intel. My driver was Win64_153322. Install it. If you install it correctly you're at half way through. Restart your PC, if she needs.

    8 go to the AMD web site and download the latest version of the driver. To avoid the complexity best option is to download Autodetect. Because he will choose the best suitable driver for your system. The file name is amddriverdownloader.

    9. open the amddriverdownloader file and download the driver. Download will end and it will automatically start the installation. Install it in express mode. Restart your PC because you will be asked to do.

    10. I hope your driver problems will be solved. To check it out go to Device Manager and see if the drivers are installed properly. Turn on the CCC and try to play a game of High Performance. You will see that the problem is solved.

    Here's how I solved my problem of graphics from AMD. I've been suffering since I installed Windows 8.1 right after being released and today 15 Jun 14, I solved the problem. I can play any game in now high performance.

    If you think that my opinion is useful to you, please share it.

  • Switchable graphics in Windows 8?

    Hello (please forgive my English waste ).

    I recently bought and installed windows 8.

    The transition from Windows 7 to Windows 8 was smooth and relatively flawless, but I have a question:

    My computer (HP Pavilion dv6) has 2 graphics cards, one to save the battery (family AMD graphics card) and the other for games and other (something AMD radeon HD graphics card), but given some of the games I ran smoothly at a framerate high on the old operating system runs badly with a very low framerate, I don't think it changes the graphic card it uses. I downloaded and installed an updated for the 'gaming' graphics card driver

    Is it possible to make it again change? I want to say that I can do at the moment?

    Thanks in advance,

  • AMD Radeon 7400 (switchable graphics) on dell vostro 3350 does not work under Windows 8 (error code 43)

    Hello

    I just installed Windows 8 and switchable graphics does not work on the system. The most annoying is that I can't use the radeon graphics card, because the stop system it works.

    I've attached a screenshot of what I see:

    What I have tried to solve the problem:

    • Install the latest drivers AMD radeon HD (http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst1211betadriver.aspx)
    • Reinstall the driver built-in Intel (HD Graphics 3000)
    • The latest version of the A09 bios for laptop
    Nothing has worked.
    Switchable graphics worked very well under Windows 7 64-bit.
    Help, please!

    and the version of the driver:

  • Video driver and Bios graphics (the two A06) problems

    I upgraded my bios to A06 7/10, when he was released. I also upgraded my Intel drivers, including graphics drivers, 7/10-version A06 releasing. Everything seemed fine at first. However, some applications of Windows 8, such as the application of Windows of Lync, have graphics problems.

    All the text and labels in the Lync application are white or black, including what I type in the message window. It makes it unusable. I tried to reinstall the graphics driver. I also uninstalled and reinstalled the Lync application. Nothing works.

    In my view, that it is an Intel graphics driver issue. The old drivers had no issue. Older drivers don't seem to work with the new bios. Once installed, the display shows really dark, even at 100% brightness. Therefore, the new drivers are needed, but cause my app of Lync problem.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Update: Windows updates again this week (via Windows update) which addressed this issue. Everything works again with Windows 8.1.

    FYI - Windows update was unreadable... so I had to use another computer W8 beside my tablet as a way to help guess what is needed (given that the text was just long lines instead of letters).

  • Switchable graphics after installing new window. No ATI driver on the site of HP for Pavilion dm4 1140EZ

    Hello

    I had a problem with the black screen after logo window at startup. To solve it, I installed fresh windows 7 on my laptop Pavilion dm4 1140EZ. My laptop has Intel HD and ATI mobility Radeon 5000 graphics cards. On the HP site I downloaded the driver for Intel, but it lacked ATI driver for my product.  I went to the AMD site and downloaded catalyst control + driver for my ATI card but Intel graphics stops working correctly and graphic ATI did not work as well as on the Device Manager it has shown the device is functioning properly.

    After uninstall of Catalyst Manager Intel graphic it was OK. How should I me switchable graphics? My laptop is warming further than it used to be I think may be due to works on Intel graphics only the video quality is very bad. Kindly help me to install progressively switchable graphics.

    You can use the recovery media to reinstall the graphics driver AMD. Never install the Catalyst Control Center and the AMD driver. The graphics driver for a laptop with switchable graphics is specially coded to provide this functionality. Do not install the Intel driver separately because it would cause the feature switchable graphics to stop working. AMD owns ATI.

    Find the graphics card AMD driver software, click in the box to the left and then click on install.

    Hi, I have a laptop HP dv6 3131tx (64-bit). I just recentley upgraded to Windows 8 since my laptop is supposed to be compatible to the HP Web site.

    I can't find drivers for my card (ATI radeon 5650 including) 1 GB switchable graphics.

    Because of this problem, I can not connect my laptop to do anything with my HDMI cable, I can't use software such as AutoCAD (software engineering), I can not play almost any game that required the decent graphics and my laptop runs out real costs quickly becausei can't change my graphics mode.

    I also tried with the driver of windows 7 in compatibility mode, but even that is no problem.

    Really need help. As soon as possible. Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    It would look like HP do not go to your laptop for Windows 8 support - you can check if you enter your XV784PA NR the Site to upgrade Windows 8

    My best advice would be to use 3rd party personalized graphics drivers switchable such as those found on the following link - these were a success with people using switchable graphics who want the latest drivers.

    http://leshcatlabs.NET/

    I suggest strongly to read the Manual about installing these drivers and to understand why driver signature enforcement must be disabled to load these custom drivers.
